It is not true that kidney yang insufficiency can be improved with just one herbal medicine, it needs to be treated under the guidance of Chinese medicine.
Kidney yang insufficiency is also known as “weak kidney fire” in Chinese medicine, people with kidney yang insufficiency often show fatigue (mental fatigue, physical weakness), lack of energy, fear of cold, cold limbs, especially legs and feet, and some men also show sexual dysfunction, impotence, premature ejaculation, etc.; women have a loss of libido, uterine cold, infertility, leucorrhea, and other diseases. Women have decreased libido, cold uterus, infertility, and thinning leukorrhea.
In terms of medication, it is necessary to consider according to the severity of the symptoms, and it is not possible to absolutely think that the disease can be treated with the help of a single Chinese medicine.
Chinese medicines commonly used in the treatment of kidney yang insufficiency include deer antler, Epimedium, Bacopa monnieri, Cynomolgus, Cortex Eucommiae, Cistanchiae, and Liao Yang, etc. In the treatment of the disease, it is necessary to appropriately mix and match with traditional Chinese medicines such as qi tonic, blood tonic, and qi rationalization, etc., according to the different symptoms, to play a role in the treatment.
Clinically, insufficient Kidney-Yang leads to insufficient warming and warming ability of Kidney-Yang for the body to warm and transform cold-dampness, and it also complicates the internalization of cold-dampness, resulting in symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, watery stools, and heavy cold pain in the waist. At this time, in addition to the use of drugs to tonify kidney yang, also need to be accompanied by warming the middle and dispersing cold (to warm the spleen and stomach of the medicine to dispel the cold), to remove dampness and relieve pain in the drug, such as cannon epiphyllum and so on.
Therefore, it is not scientific to say that only one herbal medicine is needed for Kidney-Yang deficiency, and comprehensive consideration is needed.
